"A Christmas ' Carol ' ' To Be Presented At Little Theatre The Boone Little Theater'! next production will be ? special Christmas season presentation of the famous Charles Dickens clastic, "A Christmas Carol," whjch will be seen at the Little Theater the nights of December 16-20, Little neater Director Jerry Moore said. David Culler and Bill Hoes, recent sensations in character parts in the play "Beyond the Horizon," will be featured in the new production: Culler as Scrooge, the miserly, hardheart ed old man who refuses to be moved by the Christmas season into acts of kindness; and Ross as tbe Spirit of Christmas, who serves as a sort of narrator tor the drama as he conducts Scrooge on a tour of Christ mases past, present and future. The natural eerlness of the play itself will be enhanced by several effective theatrical de vices which are presently being rehearsed by the cast and stage crew. One of the most diffi cult of these devices will be that of staging the play com pletely "in the round," with seats placed on all sides of the action. Red and blue moving lights, backed by sound effects of vio lent wind, will be used to create the effect of motion as Srooge and the Spirit of Christmas are whisked from one scene to an other. It should be mentioned that all other roles in the play will be played by high school stu dents, who may be expected to give surprisingly good perform ances while receiving excellent dramatic training at Moore's hands. After "A Christmas Carol," the tattle Theater will continue its regular season with a Jan uary presentation of the Noel Coward comedy, "Blithe Spirit," which lends itself perfectly to presentation by Little Theater groups. Tickets for the upcoming Ctiriitmu production may be purHinrd at Flowers' Pket? Shop, the Vanity Shop, aad the College Bookstore. r Homecoming Held At Cove Creek On Friday The Cove Creek High School gymnasium was the scene of the annual Homecoming Friday night.
